Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2002, Publicación: 91ª reunión CIT (2003)

Convenio sobre la inspección del trabajo, 1947 (núm. 81) - Marruecos (Ratificación : 1958)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report for the period ending 31 May 2001, the information supplied in reply to its previous comments, and the documents supplied with the report. The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the following points.

Child labour and labour inspection. The Committee notes that, following the survey conducted in 1996 with the assistance of UNICEF, 200 labour inspectors and medical inspectors have been trained with a view to improving the methods of the labour inspectorate in the area of child labour. The Committee also notes the launch of an International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) project, with the creation of a national committee responsible for following up activities initiated as part of this project. Referring to its previous observation, the Committee hopes that specific information on sanctions imposed in cases of violations of child labour legislation will be provided, as the Government has undertaken to do, as soon as this information is available for the implementation of the IPEC programme, and that relevant statistics will be included in the annual inspection report.
